The government is proposing to allow the IRD to share information in ways that are currently illegal. You are encouraged to provide your feedback on the proposals. Many of the examples given to support a reduction in IRD secrecy are reasonable, however, any reduction in the secrecy that taxpayers can expect from the IRD will inevitably lead to information being used or misused in ways that aren’t contemplated by the examples.
